K-23 reviewed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #150 Apr 24, 2024
7.5

This issue was a total mixed bag for me. Sophie excels in emotional moments throughout the issue but this whole story arc has become so convoluted and disjointed that the issue felt so bloated with hand wavy solutions that it felt like a jumbled rush of a final issue. We did get some nice emotional beats with the future versions of the turtle fam throughout the arc, but it was a shame to exclude more

This runs been so brutally repetitive and boring which continues here but I give him some credit for a few nice lines and at least moving the story forward (or so I hope).

Though this series tends to get a little hand wavy with explanations, it's so much fun and Williamson has a great feel for the arrow fam that this is one of my favorite current books at DC. So hyped to have Mia back and can't wait for more details on where she's been.

Great issue that perfectly captured the essence of what this book was capable at when at it's best, a fun cheesy action story with the scoundrels in the Star Wars universe. The problem with the series was that it would get diluted with too many new characters constantly being thrown at you without you ever giving you a reason to get invested in these characters or it would drag on side stories wit more

I just...I.... wtf was this? I give it points for art and that's about it. I read this because it had Superman on the cover and hoped King would be better at writing Clark than he is Diana but that was not to be. I know what he was going for here and I really wish he had succeeded but this just feels hollow. It's like he's writing to impress his mother.

This issue was a slog to read and I really didn't jive with King's voice for Superman especially (though not as painful as his voice for Damian & Jon). He's clearly trying to recapture the fun of Date Night (which I really liked) but failed with constant goofy lines from Superman and writing Clark very generic as if he doesn't know Bruce like a brother. So many bad jokes and lines that just made n more

After all the warnings of this extremely dark all encompassing pain from the memories he'd endure, we're left with a very mundane boring alt reality that is just boring let alone threatening. Still decent overall but I really hope the story picks up sig more
